I received this shayla be email this morning. Any one have an opinion on this? my gut is to put up without brocho

Dear Rabbi Gutnick
I am attaching a photo of a kitchen (The photo needs to be rotated so that the lights are on the ceiling).
It is a kitchen. Entering it there is no real kitchen wall, only cupboards that block it off from the rest of the structure. Entering the kitchen is a large upright wooden beam that goes all the way to the ceiling. It forms a "tzuras hapesach". Does it need a mezuzah. If so, with or without a brocha?

sefer torah tikkun

Hi chevra, I was wondering what are the pros and cons between the two tikunnim 245 amudim V 248 amudim and which is the preferred methood in the commercial market?
